A glass-walled living area overlooking a courtyard and pool sits at the center of the K House , a minimalist home in Tel Aviv, Israel, designed by local firm Pitsou Kedem.

The home's white walls and simple finishes were guided by the concept of "seeking silence" for a family who wanted a place of refuge away from the city center.

The breathable lime plaster covering the home’s walls was informed by the finish common to many modernist buildings in Tel Aviv’s UNESCO-listed White City.
"Our starting point was to eliminate the unnecessary. We wanted to design a house with a coherent architectural language that wore its age with elegance," said the firm.

Surrounded by gardens that shield it from external views, the L-shaped house looks inward toward a paved courtyard and pool, accessed by a path that runs along the north side of the site.

While the central living area is more exposed, the rest of the home is enclosed by a “double envelope” of glass and white walls to help create a cooler microclimate around the home, with a series of interior courtyards in between.

The interiors were designed to provide an "omnipresent visual silence" , with largely monochromatic furniture in stone and steel and storage and shelving in light wood. Source: Dezeen
